Bob You mean like this? http://tinyurl.com/3xpfye What I don't get from the image is exactly how it attaches to the camera. That looks like it ends in a mini plug? |

What you see there is the standard tapered thread used on cable releases for mechanical shutter buttons. That would screw into the strap-on adapter mentioned above. Back in ye olde times, most cameras had a tapered thread hole in the shutter button to accept the end of a cable release. When the release is pressed, a plunger extends into the camera to actuate the shutter. On modern cameras, the shutter button is just a short travel electric switch so using a switch on a cable or infrared release is more appropriate. |

So using this shutter release and a strap on adapter such as mentioned above would solve the OP's problem since his camera has no threaded hole in the shutter button nor IR or other remote capability. Plus the available lengths are more than enough to meet his requirement. Locating a dealer with the item in stock who'd ship to his location would be the primary concern since this particular site lists prices yet doesn't appear to provide purchase capability. |
